I don't think that there would be a problem with 5 - 10 at all. I'd rather have those numbers myself. If you're not concerned about wanting M/F pairs, going for males only will keep things settled down more. The spawning motive is what causes all h**l to break loose. Also make sure your tank has lots of refuges and "sight-line breakers" such as tall pieces of driftwood and lots of plastic plants. This will discourage continuing pursuit. I find that Vieja and Paratheraps are generally less aggressive than other "roughhouse" genera such as Nandopsis, Caquetaia and Parachromis. Good luck with your project.

My suggestion is have your nose held high and throw a 3d background on all your tanks. It will make everything all better..........
 
Or........
Just place the species you enjoy for their beauty and the quantity you're comfortable with. It may be a case of trial and error. You'll know right away or within the hour if the personality of a particular new fish is not jiving with the current inhabitants. In my case, had pretty good luck. My thought is if filtration is maintained and water changes are frequent. Then it should be fine. Good luck!
 
The tank dims are 72x24x26 . But here is a quick vid:
